Explanation
Goodwill is an intangible asset that is associated with the purchase of one company by another. Because goodwill is not physical, such as a building or piece of equipment, it is considered to be an intangible asset. However, goodwill can be sold and purchased so it is not a fictitious asset.
Section 31(1) of the Indian Partnership Act,1932 deals with the provisions of admission of a new partner in the partnership firm. According to the provisions of said section, a new partner can be admitted only with the consent of all the existing partners in the firm.
Instead of taking a joint life policy, sometimes the firm may take individual life policies for each partner. On the death of any partner, of course, the insurers would pay the amount for which the deceased partner was insured which would be the firm’s profit. Also, it would be necessary to bring into account the surrender value of the policies on the lives of surviving partners.
A and B are partners sharing the profit in the ratio of 3 :They take C as the new partner who brings in 50,000 against capital and 20,000 against goodwill. New profit sharing ratio is 1: 1: 1 . In what ratio will this amount of goodwill be shared among the old partners ?
